In the "basket" ready to purchase. Is it as good as everyone says?
It's very good and is one of those albums that hit the spot at the time. Whether it is as great as they say, well you could argue either way. Fact is, it was a hugely important album for the small ECM record label, sold millions and Manfred Eicher was able to use the profits to fund far less successful recordings on his label and maintain his artisitic integrity. Without it we might not be listening to all those wonderful ECM recordings that we currently do.

It's called Lontano!
Johann Sebastian Bach: Martin Zeller (Jacobus Stainer, Absam 1673 Violincello)
Suites for Solo Violincello
Suite 1 in G (BWV 1007)
Suite 2 in d (BWV 1008)
Suite 3 in C (BWV 1009)
Another exemplary MA Recording. I can't really play the cello well but it is my favorite stringed instrument (especially the lower registers). I love the vibrations that permeate through my body, the air, and the walls and furniture that I feel when just playing a low C, for instance. This recording is one of the best I own. When I hear the lower registers I could swear a cello is playing in my room.
Regardless, this music (and Bach, in particular) needs to be played and heard (not debated) in the quiet of a home everyday, IMHO. It purifies ones soul and senses just like sunlight causes photosynthesis in plants. In a world that is spinning out of control it renders all else immaterial.

For me it is my number 1 desert island disc. The quality of the performance with a substandard (Jarrett's words)and out of tune piano is astounding.

This was the "classical" recording which paved the way for this kind of music.
A magnificent starter for me in the mid 1960es.
You were so lucky!
All i got as a starters (in the early 70's) was Tchaiovsky's 1812 and the William Tell overture!
Lucky it didn't put me off classical musik for life ; )

Doug and Haim,
how does Martin Zeller's violincello play compare to that of Maurice Gendron?

A little progressive French electronica for the evening. Mirwais - Production. Not bad once a year or so.
